I have this problem and I don't know how to solve it. I already checked in this forum some answer but don't work.I installed XAMPP 1.7.7 and then I configured the virtuahost file like this : one for xampp and one for my website sample1. Then i add them on host file and all work.The problem is that I receive 403 error when sample1 website wants to load some images.

How can I solve it ?I tried to insert <Directory ... > in sample1 virtualhost but doesn't work. Maybe I wrong syntax.

Please see "Re: can't access new site folders in htdocs." The folder containing the images might be encrypted. Right-click the folder or file you want to decrypt, and then click Properties. Click the General tab, and then click Advanced. Clear the Encrypt contents to secure data check box, click OK, and then click OK again.
